Carving Pumpkins!












It was an absolutely gorgeous day...it was sunny and hit 80 degrees! Landon and Mommy went to the grocery stores early this afternoon and when we came out we cooked out on the grill. We had the best burgers ever! After we ate, we decided to cut our pumpkins outside. The boys were so excited! Landon was really into it and we were very surprised. Lukas insisted on saving the pumpkin seeds to bake them. He did really good with his pumpkin too. We wanted him to draw his own face this year, but he wasn't comfortable enough. He said it wouldn't turn out good. So he told us what he wanted and we did what he said (triangle eyes, star nose, and a smile with a tooth). Landon didn't really know what he wanted, but he did want circles for the eyes. Mommy created his pumpkin face. Landon was very interested in putting the shape cuts back into place. He's very good at doing puzzles and knows all his shapes. He loves Lukas' star nose and kept saying the lid of the pumpkins are "suns". He's too cute! When it got dark, we lit them and they just love them, especially Landon. He loves to take the lid of his pumpkin off and on. I wish they would stay this young forever.

We had a fantastic day and are all very excited for trick or treat night on Wednesday!!
